Our state schools.

Both the University and the Nor
NAL Schools are now indulging in
their annual summer vacation
Their past years work is not only
ended, but their arrangements are
all made for the duties of the COM
ing year. The University has two
new teachers, a Professor of Anat-
omy, Physiology and Hygiene and
Natural History, and tutor in the
Preparatory Department; DIR. Harti-
gan filling the first and Mr. Edw. S.
Elliott the second place The old
Principals Of the various Normal
schools are all re-appointed, with the
exception Of Principal Woofter, OF
the Shepherdstown Normal, who re
signed. He was succeeded by Prof
A. b. Bush, who was his assistant
during last year.
The West Liberty Normal, under
Prof. r. A. Armstrong, received the
addition of another teacher to its
Faculty, as likewise did Marshall
College at Huntington, where Ettit
Boyers was appointed.
This next years work promises &c
be one ofincreased efficiency with this
new addition of teachers. The mer
at the head of these schools have
been tried and proven and are The
men for the places. So, undoubt
edly, West Virginia's educationa
history will be brighter than eve
for this years work.

Hon. j. II. Tucker at Yale.

The commencement exercises at
Yale College last week were attend
by Senator Evarts, Chief Justice
Wait, Gov. Johnsbury, and other
distinguished persons. Among the
honorary degrees conferred was that
of Ii. d. on Hon. ]. r. Tucker.
President Dwight presided at the
alumni dinner and introduced j.
Randolph Tucker, of Virginia Mr..
Tucker spoke of the part taken by
Virginia and Connecticut in the fed
eral convention and of the pleasant
relations which had always existed
between the two States, and closed
by extending Virginia's greeting to
Yale, which had been sent through
him. AS he sat down President
Dwight rose and said: "Yale Uni
versity and the State of Connecticut
extend the right hand of fellowship
to old Virginia" Mr.. Tucker
sprang to his feet and. grasping Pres
ident Dwight by the hand, attempt
ed to reply but the outburst Of APP
plause was so enthusiastic that he
stood several minutes, holding the
president by the hand before he could
be heard. Mr.. Tucker thanked
President Dwight for his noble senti-
ment, and prayed God to bless the
union of Connecticut and Virginia
and Yale University. This ex-
change Of fraternal greeting, and the
striking manner in which it was
carried out, created the greatest en-
thusiasm and most favorable com
lment.--I Independent.

President Cleveland who some
time ago was invited to be present
at the encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic at st. Louis,
and who accepted the invitation, has
recently reconsidered the matter and
now declines. He sets forth his rea-
sons in a long letter written to the
Mayor of St. Louis. When he ac-
cepted, some of the leaders of the
Grand Army set up howl and, the
"fag breeze" having sprung up just
then, said they would not attend il
the President was present. The
President was subjected to most
vile and virulent attack by sore
headed politicians with Gen. Fair
child at their head So he now de,
clines to prostitute his high office te
this attack and refuses to go. Near
ly all the leading papers Of the
country greatly deplore the necessity
of the Presidents declination. Yet
he acted wisely under the circum
stances. This will be whitening
rebuke to the viperous spleens who
set up the howl, all for political pur
poses. 1t will now rebound upor
their own heads.

Our Birthday.

Hon. James q. Blaine, in his 4th
of July Grafton in London, said that
ours was the only nation that had a
birthday. Other nations could not
tell the exact date of their origin
while we can point to the exact hour
of our birth. None but Americans
can fully comprehend the emotions
that fill the heart of the true Ameri-
can citizen when the ringing of bells
and the booming of cannon usher in
the morn of the anniversary of the
grandest day in human history
His soul is filled with conflicting
emotions. There are feelings of
pride for our greatness; of love and
generation for our founders and for
the past; feelings of exultation for
the present and feelings of the fond
est hopes and aspirations for the
unknown future. And so the true
American retires to the solitude of
his own thoughts, and there feels as
he never felt before the sacred trust
imposed upon him as citizen OF
this land.
We as Americans rejoice together
on that day. Truly "are there then
no democrats or republicans"-we
are all Americans. North, South
East and West all join hands in the
celebration of this their common
birthday. No State, however small
is less recognized than the very larg
est. The national salute of SO guns
--one for each State-speaks just as
loud for Little Rhody" as for thu
Empire State; and the booming o
the guns at Bedloe Island at the fee
of Liberty Enlightening the World
commingles with the brass notes o
the artillery of the "Golden State
in forming one grand ontburst o
common joy and triumph.

ternal feelings of this country than
the reunion Of the blue and gray at
Gettysburg on the 4thi There on
the same ground, where in this
month 1868 was fought the battle
that was the turning point in the
war, again were commingled the
veterans of both armies. There
again was heard the rebel yell and
the diapason of the artillery. There
again did the Philadelphia Re
serves" meet "Pickett's Brigade of
Virginians.
But all was changed. Now they
met as brothers to embrace one an
other and to weep over the fallen.
This time the men of Pickett's brig
ade were the guests of Pennsylvania 5
sons. This is the most sublime
spectacle in our history to see these
war SCARED veterans meet on this
historic battle field in the most
friendly terms. Let this forever
silence the sore heads who say the
war is not over.
This years 4th was duly celebrat-
ed all over the country. AT Tam
many Hall, in New York, a great
council was held in which such men
as Gov. Lee, of Virginia, Gov. Will
son, of West Virginia, and Sunset
Cox were the orators of the day. II
was grand day for the democracy
of this country and for the entire
nation. May each succeeding gen
Grafton continue to venerate and
cherish this day, and may it never
rise on men unworthy Of our fore
fathers.

Dangerous Pooling.

The folly of Mr.. Lucas contest
for the seat in the United States
Senate, to which Mr.. Faulkner was
recently elected by the Legislature
of West Virginia, has attracted at
tention outside of that little State.
1t is amazing to us that Mr.. Lucas
should set up as an United States
Senator, and claim the privilege of
one, when he has nothing to show
for it but a certificate, stating that
Governor Wilson had appointed him
to a place, which the Legislature has
since filled. And yet he asserts
that very claim in an offensive and
inexcusable manner, if it be true, as
reported in a Wheeling paper, that
he lately called on the Public Prin-
ter, in Washington, and requested
the removal of Mr. George Sargent,
of West Virginia, who was recently
appointed to a position in that es-
Establishment through the influence
of Senator elect Faulkner and ex-
Senator Camden. And strangest
and most inconsistent of all, Mr..
Lucas asked Mr.. Sargent's removal
upon the ground that he worked
against the regular Democratic nom
inee for the House of Delegates, at
the last election in Jefferson county
the regular Democratic candidate
aforesaid being man who refused
to support Camden, the regular Dem
ocratic nominee for the United
States Senate This was surely
Satan reproving sin.
The next United States Senate is
likely to be divided equally or near.
ly SO, between the democrats and
the republicans. In view of this
probability, the Pittsburg Post talks
out in meeting as follows:
"There is a very loud call from
the democratic press of the country
that the unseemly wrangle in West
Virginia in relation to the certificate
of the United States Senator-elect
shall cease, and that Governor Will
son shall issue the certificate to Sen
ator- elect Faulkner. The Govern
or's appointment of Mr.. Lucas can
not stand against the election of Mr.
Faulkner A contest will only re
suit in the seating of Mr.. Faulkner
but it is important there should
be no contest, which would result il
the temporary loss of one democrati,
vote. The Senate is very close
There are 81 democrats, in a full
Senate, and SO republicans, ant
Riddleberger, who, it is reported
will vote with the democrats on OF
ganization and other questions. TIL
questions involved are too impor
tant to be muddled by this PROPOSED
and needless West Virginia con
test"
Truly a needless contest. Nay
it is an inexcusable one. Especial
ly is it inexcusable in democrat t
go to Washington and claim sea
in the United States Senate, on tn
{ ground that the West Virginia Con
stitution overrides that clause of tn
Federal Constitution, which express
ly provides that every Senator's
vacancy shall be filled at the mex
session" of the State Legislature

England is on the eve Of great
event in her history. The tory par
ty which has charge of the govern
ment has at length shown its hand
and is playing a desperate game.
This party in it's efforts at passing
the Coercion Bill is putting its sig
nature to the death warrant of Irish
rights and privileges. The govern
ment still persists in this blind mad
career despite the almost successful
battle of the great and grand Glad
stone. His speeches in Parliament
against tyranny and for right are the
spontaneous outbursts of noble elo-
quent soul, rendered still more elo-
quent by the sight of wrongs which
are burning their way into his coun-
try. His speeches are masterpieces.
Within the near future deeds of
great moment will be performed.
Right must eventually triumph eth
er it will come to the front under
the peaceful leadership of the grand
old man. or it will finally come
through blood and carnage. The
future alone can solve the question.

1t is amusing to see how careful
our republican exchanges are, in
noting the largeness of the State
school fund this year, to add that
the democratic administration is en-
titled TO no credit therefor. This,
we presume, means that the demo
Gratis are to blame when anything
goes wrong and the republicans get
the credit for whatever goes right.

readers of republican newspapers,
